Pillowell Community Primary School
Lydney, GL15 4QT · Gloucestershire · primary school
212nd of 219 primary schools in Gloucestershire we can score, 242 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,085 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.5/10 among them, against 1.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 44.0 · 12 | 40% | 0.47 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 44.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. The school was last inspected in November 2023 and rated Requires improvement.

Getting in. The school has 73 pupils in a capacity of 84 places, leaving 11 spare spots. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school plan to raise attainment from the current 44.0% to meet national expectations? What specific actions are being taken to address the Requires improvement rating from the 2023 inspection? How does the school support pupils in reaching the higher standard, given that 0.0% achieved this last year?
